A neat little house on Pine street. not
Tar west Of Broad, has been. for some
Tune past, the object of considerable at
tention among the residents of that
neighborhood. The suspicion arose from
the TACT that every day the house Is
visited by quite a number OF ladies
ranging In age from sixteen to sixty.
The parlor OF the house Is occupied as nm
Office by young physician. Ii has lately
been discovered that he is engaged in a
most remarkable business.
10 one OF the visitors News-gatherer
Is indebted for an explanation of secret,
which the majority of many rosy
checked maldens who promenade Chest
nut street would prefer to remain I'M
discovered. The visits OF the young
ladies to the doctor are for no other pur-
pose than to get healthy color; not
painted. but q genuine healthy color.
A -gatherer was fortunate
enough to have, through the courtesy of
the producer of the "a rosy blush" an
opportunity OF witnessing the operation
by which the cheeks are beautiiled and to
hear the doctors account of how he came

fetal bloom OF health in female faces.

make the :" rose permanent The treat
ment Is painless and the girls seem rather
to enjoy 1t.
The young lady who was being oper-
ated upon during the reporters visit was

first course. Under the impression that
the visitor was student she made no
objection to his presence.
The doctor began his operations with
soft. dry towel, with which he rubbed
both checks OF the patient until they
glowed. Then he alternately patted and
rubbed the cheeks with his bare hands
until the blood was brought sufficiently
near the surface to make the girl look as
II she had been standing over hot fire
cooking Christmas dinner.
After a rest of ten minutes the process
was renewed. and before that Was over
there was a spot on each cheek that
glowed like a burning coal. This had to
be toned down, and the toning was done
by application of an ointment rubbed into
the skln with piece OF soft sheepskin
SO that when this was done the Young
lady, who came In pale-cheeked and col
orless, left the office with pair OF roses

her uninitlated companions. This pro-
cess Is continued for several successive
days until the bloom becomes permanent.

Brunettes require the most work, as
the blood must be brought very close to
the surface to show through their dark
skin. Blondes require the greatest care
